Users Guide

Dell Networking OS supports copying the running-configuration to a TFTP server, an
FTP server, or a remote NFS file system. For example:
• copy running-config tftp:
• copy running-config ftp:
• copy running-config nfsmount://<mount-point>/filepath
You can compress the running configuration by grouping all the VLANs and the
physical interfaces with the same property. You can store the operating configuration
to the startup config in Compressed mode and perform an image downgrade without
any configuration loss.
Example
Dell#copy running-config scp:
Address or name of remote host []: 192.168.1.1
Port number of the server [22]: 22
Destination file name [startup-config]:
User name to login remote host: username
Password to login remote host:

In this copy scp: flash: example, specifying SCP in the first position indicates that
you need to specify the target in the ensuing prompts. Entering flash: in the second
position indicates that the target is the internal flash. The source is on a secure server
running secure shell (SSH), so you are prompted for the user datagram protocol (UDP)
port of the SSH server on the remote host.
Example
Dell# copy running-config nfsmount://<mount-point>/filepath
Destination file name [test.txt]:
User name to login remote host: usrname
Password to login remote host:
